What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for groups. With 7 cabins and 12 berths, DESIRE is built for larger crews or multiple families wanting to share costs, quite rare at this size. At €5,507/week with zero deposit required, it's genuinely accessible.
Well-equipped modern boat. The 2020 Sun Loft 47 comes loaded: autopilot, bow thruster, air conditioning, solar panels, and a swim platform make this more comfortable than many bareboat charters in this class. You're getting solid amenities without paying premium superyacht money.
Strong value proposition. For a 14m sailing yacht with this many cabins and modern systems, the weekly rate is competitive, especially appealing if you're flying in from the US or continental Europe and want to maximise the bang for your buck on a week-long adventure.
One practical note: We don't have the base location listed, so I'd recommend checking directly with Y Knot Yachting about airport transfers and whether the mooring suits your sailing plans, a 47-footer with 12 people aboard will need good water access and anchoring considerations.
